coach Abbey Kikomeko is Joining BUL FC on a two-year renewable contract.

Abbey Bogere Kikomeko bid an emotional farewell to Mbale Heroes after guiding the team back to the FUFA Big League after two years.

The coach joined the two-time Uganda Cup winners at the beginning of the season to guide them back to the second division.

And man, he did that in style by overcoming Kigulu United to be crowned champions of the Eastern before thumping Bukedea Central 7-0 in the inter-regional playoffs.

Kikomeko confirmed his departure and promised to return to the club if things don’t work out for him at BUL.

“I won’t- be with you next season but I really appreciate what you have done for me,” an emotional Kikomeko told the thousands of fans who had turned up for the second leg at the Mbale City Stadium.

“I have promoted the team but if things don’t work where I am going, I will return. If the team fails to earn promotion to the Uganda Premier League, I will come back to do the business myself,” Kikomeko said as the fans blessed his move.

Kikomeko stayed for over a decade at Jinja SSS and then Busoga United before leaving for Mbale Heroes.

He is joining BUL on a two-year term with an option to renew.
